Jim Cramer - compiled performance stats?

Question

Does anyone have a portfolio that tracks Jim Cramer's buy recommendations?

I started one in Yahoo! Finance for my personal benefit about a week ago but hopefully someone has compiled more complete and longer term info.

Any what the heck is a boo-ya ? If someone gave me a boo-ya, should I be insulted? It sounds like something you could cure with penicillin.

If someone place a BUY order based on the close-of-business price on the day Cramer made his recommendation, then tracked results in a service like Yahoo! Finance, they could compare the percent change with standards like QQQQ (exchange traded Nasdaq-based fund).

If not Cramer, then Valueline, S&P, Investors Business Daily, etc.

There should be some way to know the historical performance.

Answer 1

I watch Cramer and Fast Money and have a winning %, I've done really well with Cramer's featured stock picks at the beginning of the year, his special plays like the 4 horseman of tech and when he comes up with certain sector plays due to changing market conditions. I avoid the lightning rounds, he doesn't come up with those he just comments on them given very limited info.......

Answer 2

You should try with Penny Stocks Trading (you can find more info here: http://pennystocks.toptips.org )

Penny stocks, also known as cent stocks in some countries, are common shares of small public companies that trade at low prices per share.
I've been subscribing to this PennyStock web site for about a year now and have loved the objective advice they give. He really does look for quality stocks and I've made some pretty nice profits on a lot of his suggestions. Being still fairly new to investing I have been dabbling a lot in penny stocks to try and grow my account. I may not have a big account, but it's a lot bigger than it was a year ago. On just one of Nathan's picks this year I managed to make my investment back ten-fold! Be careful! Penny stocks are notoriously risky but if you follow the right method the risk is almost 0. I suggest to invest only little money first and then reinvest the profits. This is the site I'm using: http://pennystocks.toptips.org
Have a nice day

Seeking alpha has a list of all of his picks and recent shows:

Here is a list of his charity portfolio, which I guess is the only money he now manages:

http://www.stockpickr.com/port/Action-Alerts-Plus/

You can probably find 1000 different people on the Internet with 1000 different portfolio performance stats for Cramer's picks. Some like to trash him, and others like to praise him to high heaven, and they tend to skew his picks towards their bias. Plus Cramer doesn't exactly make it easy to track his picks, with a buy one day and a sell the next day on a lot of his shows! that's why that charity portfolio is a good one, he seems to back those companies regularly.

As for a booya, I have no idea what it is! Maybe you should call in and ask him!

Answer 4

I followed his recommendations 3 times, and lost significant money 3 times. I think the problem is that he has to find SO many stocks to buy 5 days a week. Most people only need a new stock to buy every few months. I still watch the show for some added information but I do far better on my own.

Answer 5

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/ed075

Answer 6

www.CramerProject.com
and
The Motley Fool tracks his picks...too.

Answer 7

he is all over the place so tracking his buy recco's will be difficult.
I think Boo-ya has to do with sales of illegal drugs its a code of some sort but saw a movie on you tube that explains it.
